11、res put on shows for children at Christmas and many theatres have a theatre-in-education team working there. This team, made up of actors and teachers, writes plays for children, usually performing them in schools. They do different plays for different age groups and the children often take part in
12、the play in some way. Pantomime is a special kind of Christmas show for children. It is loved by people and also allows the audience（观众）to join in. “Pantomime” was the name of the Roman actor who performed shows without speaking-this is where the English word “mime” comes from. A Pantomime is always
13、 based on a well-known childrens story. But there are always certain types of characters in the show and certain situations and events. For example, a Pantomime must always include a hero, known as the “principle boy” and this principle boy is always played by a pretty girl wearing a short costume.
14、Then there is the comic older woman, known as the “dame” who is played by a man. There is always a group of men and women who sing and dance and often there is a Pantomime horse. The horse is played by two men who form the “front” and “back” ends inside a “horse” costume. It is funny and it usually
15、kicks the dame when she isnt looking. Members of the audience have to shout a warning to one of the characters and argue with the character (usually the dame) when she does not believe them. When she shouts, “Oh no, it isnt,” the audience always responds with “Oh yes, it is!” The audience also learn

18、C. repeat what she says D. disagree with her loudlyB “One thing I enjoy about my job is that I can work on something that is actually active,” says Game McGimsey, an American volcanologist(火山学家). Part of his job includes keeping an eye on Alaskas many active volcanoes and giving people a heads-up wh
19、en a volcano might erupt(喷发). Like most jobs in the science, volcanology requires a lot of education. McGimsey received an undergraduate degree in geology at the University of North Carolina, then landed an internship（实习期）with a geologist at the USGS(美国地质勘探局) whose work field was about volcanoes. Af
20、ter earning a graduate degree at the University of Colorado, McGimsey accepted a job with the USGS and has been with the Alaska Volcano Observatory for 25 years. Volcanoes can influence the world in ways we might not think about. For example, on Dec.15 1989, a 747 jetliner(a large airplane) flew thr
21、ough a thick ash cloud produced by Mount Redoubt, an Alaskan volcano that hadnt erupted in 25 years. The ash caused all four engines to die, and the planes electronics went dead. “The plane was within several thousand feet of flying into the mountains below when the pilots got a couple of engines re
22、started and landed safely in Anchorage,” McGimsey says. It cost nearly $80 million to repair the damage to the plane. Such situations show just how dangerous volcanoes can be. However, volcanologists know the risks and are prepared to protect themselves. McGimsey admits, “There is certainly a higher
23、 danger level in volcanology than some other jobs. We understand how serious the danger is, and we dont like taking unnecessary chances. We avoid getting too close to an erupting volcano, because it is not worth injury or death simply to get a rock or a photograph.”24. Before working for the USGS, M

26、ubt D. Lost land of the volcanoC Around one in a hundred deaths worldwide is due to passive smoking, which kills about 600,000 people a year, World Health Organization (WHO) researchers said on Friday. In the first study to assess the global impact of second-hand smoke, WHO experts found that childr
27、en are more heavily exposed to second-hand smoke than any other age-group, and around 165,000 of them a year die because of it. Two-thirds of these deaths occur in Africa and south Asia, the researchers, led by Annette Pruss-Ustun of the WHO in Geneva, wrote in their study. Childrens exposure to sec
28、ond-hand smoke is most likely to happen at home, and the double effect of infectious diseases (传染性疾病) and tobacco seems to be a deadly causes for children in these regions, they said. While deaths due to passive smoking in children were more likely to happen in poor and middle-income countries, deat
29、hs in adults were spread across countries at all income levels. In Europes high-income countries, only 71 child deaths occurred, while 35,388 deaths were in adults. Yet in the countries assessed in Africa, about 43,375 deaths due to passive smoking were in children compared with 9,514 in adults. Pru
30、ss-Ustun urged countries to enforce the WHOs Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, which includes higher tobacco taxes (税收), and advertising bans, among other steps.Policy-makers should bear in mind that enforcing complete smoke-free laws will probably reduce the number of deaths due to exposure
31、to second-hand smoke within the first year of its implementation（执行）, with accompanying reduction in costs of illness in social and health systems, she wrote. Only 7.4 percent of the world population currently lives in areas with comprehensive smoke-free laws, and those laws are not always strongly
32、enforced.In places where there are smoke-free rules, research shows that exposure to second hand smoke in high-risk places like bars and restaurants can be cut by 90 percent, and in general by 60 percent, the researchers said. Studies also show such laws help to reduce the number of cigarettes smoke
33、d by smokers and lead to higher success rates in those trying to quit.28. Where do children most likely suffer the exposure to second-hand smoke? A.In their schools. B.In their homes. C.In bars and restaurants. D.In disease-infected areas.29. Apart from passive smoking, what is also responsible for

35、ll income levels C.is controlled in some South Asian countries D.is low in high-income countries.31. In the last few paragraphs, the author implies that smoke-free laws _. A. have worked reasonably well so far. B.leave much to be expected. C. should be enforced strongly D.should be made carefully.D
36、Like many people, Ive always seen the Olympics as the “main” sporting event held every four years the headline act and the Paralympics(残奥会) as something of an “add-on” the supporting act. If you are not disabled it is hard to understand some of the games and the athletes movement problems. But being
37、 in the host city for these Paralympics changed my views. I came to realize these athletes were nothing short of superheroes. Lacking physical abilities that able-bodied people take for granted, they made up for them and then some. They tested their physical ability to extremes that the Bolts and Ph
38、elpses of this world never have to. If some Olympics runners had to be double-amputated (双侧截肢) , I wonder if they would tie two carbon fiber blades (碳纤维刀片) to their knees like Oscar Pistorius, also known as Blade Runner, of South Africa, and relearn everything that once came naturally. If some Olymp
39、ic swimming heroes suddenly went blind, would they have the courage to still swim fast through the water, not knowing when they would reach the end of the pool? Would any of us be brave to face a life-changing experience like a car crash? And not only get our lives back on track but then try to be t
40、he best at a sport? “What Paralympic sport would you do if you were disabled? ” was a question I posed today. Its not something you would normally think about. You dont watch TV as a kid dreaming to be a Paralympician. But it takes more than early mornings, training programs and special diets to get
41、 to the Paralympics. It takes a tragedy or loss that will have been worked through and overcome. Skiing is terrifying enough if you have all your faculties. Standing at the top of a ski slope, its a war of wills for most people to start, but Canadas Donovan Tildesley, who has been blind from birth,
42、revealed to a China Daily reporter that not only did he already ski, but he also wanted to take it up competitively. Superheroes indeed, each and every one. The Paralympics should be renamed the “Superlympics”. Its nothing to do with the equality denoted by the Greek “para”, its about “super” abilit
43、y, courage and strength that most of us, the top able-bodied athletes of the world included, will never have to . Its worth remembering that many Paralympics suffered horrific injuries while living life to the full. You dont get paralyzed (瘫痪的 ) sitting at home playing video games. And having lived
44、life to the full they are not prepared to stop. Thats we talked about “Paralympic spirit” I only hope that if life dealt me or my loved one, we would handle them in the same way as these outstanding men and women.32. What does the author think of Paralympics athletes?A.They are more than heroes. B.T
45、hey are unsung heroes.C.They are second only to superheroes. D.They are able-bodied superheroes.33. By saying “ and then some”(para.2), the author means that _.A.Paralympic athletes made up for some physical abilitiesB.Not all Paralympic athletes were able to make up for physical abilitiesC.There ar
46、e some abilities that diabled athletes cannot make up for.D.There are some other abilities besides what has been made up for.34. What does the author imply in Paragraphs 3 and 4?A.Some Olympic stars will turn into Paralympic competitors when disabled.B.Olympic stars career will come to a natural end when they are disabledC.It should be braver to be Paralympic athletes than Olympic athletes.D.It is anybodys guess whether Olympi
